You can, but that's not the point. In most systems, alt-tab naturally forms an LRU ordering, which means you can switch between two applications very quickly. This behavior means that LRU is broken on multimonitor.

However, unlike OS X, Unity only raises one window, seemingly selected at random, when you Alt-Tab to an application with multiple windows. This makes it extremely difficult to Alt-Tab quickly between two applications when using two monitors. If I have two monitors with: Monitor 1: Chrome + Terminal + Emacs Monitor 2: Chrome Now, focus the Chrome in monitor 1. Alt-Tab to the Terminal. Try to Alt-Tab back to monitor 1's Chrome. Even if the mouse is on the left half, only monitor 2's Chrome raises. This behavior makes window management very frustrating; it breaks LRU and makes it hard to flip between two windows. It's also hard to tell if anything even happened, so I lose track of what app I switched to.
